Andre de Villiers Pocket Butcher

[glocktenman]

I saw one of these Andre de Villiers Pocket Butcher in the traditional sale area the other day and now I can't seem to find it. Do any of you have one or have had one and can tell me more about it?

I forum-searched your title and found a 12/01/16 post by Jbama that's had no replies. Looks pretty cool.

It was resisted on 1/7/17 but it looks like it was sold.

Been looking at one myself,get the gen two integral model l was told this is better than earlier ones.

I really want one of the bone scaled ones to scrimshaw on.

Switchblade,

The smaller two are slip joints correct? Both handles are wood? In re the larger one it looks like a flipper with a liner lock. Is that correct? What's the size on these?

Thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks for posting the pics.

the two smaller ones are carbon fiber and the other is wood, yes they are bot slipjoints with 3"blade and 6.75" overall
the bigger one is framelock which also includes a thumb disc, these are 3.75" and 8.75" overall.

Andre had just started making the pocket butcher in a slightly larger version with I believe 3.75" blade with a back lock on it.
